Dr. Louis van Haugh rode alone in the backseat of his personal limousine. It was nightfall, and he stared out of the window to watch the lights of the big city whiz by.

Louis had seen and done quite a bit in his day; he was a bit over 50 years of age. He had always been a hard worker, and through his ingenious business strategy, he had managed to become a millionaire at age 27. He had reached billionaire status while still in his forties. He technically never had to worry about money ever again, despite his strong appetites for large purchases that served to perpetuate a lavish lifestyle.

Under the vast wealth and glamour of Louis's life, however, there was always a plethora of sexual activity. Louis had always been interested in sex, and his money always attracted the most young, beautiful, and perfectly figured women imaginable. His past encounters had been many, and although he had been in many relationships, Louis had never thought it necessary or desirable to marry one of these little vixens. After all, why should he sign a legal contract guaranteeing forfeiture of half of his behemoth empire upon divorce? Besides, women, he noticed, tended to get fatter and older-looking at around age 30 on average anyway. Why would he want to be committed to a woman, after she became unattractive, if he didn't have to be?

The lights of the city were becoming much fewer now as Louis's chauffeur drove out into the countryside. Louis was on one of his little sexual excursions. He frequented brothels, but needed a guarantee of discreteness. On this evening, however, Louis's destination was blanketed in mystery. He had never been to this place before, but it came highly recommended from a few of his close associates. Louis stared down at the little strip of paper which had the address scribbled on it by Michael Santiago, his closest friend.

"You'll never forget this place," Mike had said. "It's unlike anything else you have ever experienced."

"We'll see, Mike," Louis asserted to the figment from his past. Just how great could one place be, anyway? Louis put the paper back in his coat pocket and sat back.

"I guess I'll see soon enough," he conceded.

There were no lights now, only dense tree growth as the limousine continued into the countryside. Only the headlights of the automobile interrupted the pure darkness of the night.

About 65 miles outside of town, the chauffeur found the turn from the main road that he had been instructed to take. The pathway was a dirt road, of all things, and very rocky, making the ride was bumpy and offensive. The dirt path continued for miles, surrounded without cessation by trees on both sides.

"Where IS this place?" Louis asked to no one in particular after the car had deviated about 15 miles from the main road.

"I am not certain, sir," the chauffeur responded anyway.

As if responding to Louis's question, an enormous gate emerged in front of them. The gate appeared to be made of heavy metal and was very thick. It was at least 2 feet thick, Louis would have guessed, and 50 feet tall. Each door of the gate was connected to a tower even thicker than the gate door, and each tower was, in turn, connected to a security wall which appeared to surround dozens of acres of land.

"They aren't kidding," Louis said to himself.

Two guards, dressed in black fatigues and machine guns, occupied a small security booth in front of the huge gate. The limousine pulled up to the booth. One of the officers stepped up to the automobile asked them about their business. Louis's chauffeur responded as he had been instructed to by Louis, according to Mike's instructions. The first guard nodded at the other, who was still in the booth, and then there was a low "boom" as the gates started to open slowly.

Once fully open, the chauffeur drove through the gates, with some apprehension. Louis looked back at the gate, which was shutting once again, and noticed that, atop both gate towers, there were two snipers at high alert, aiming their rifles right down his neck.

Louis turned to face front once again. "What have I gotten myself into this time?" he commented.

Shortly after, the limousine drove up to the most exquisite mansion Louis had ever seen. It was quite a large house, even by Louis's standards. They were greeted by a valet, and Louis stepped outside. He instructed the chauffeur to return for him in the morning, and the limousine pulled away. Louis walked up to the large Victorian front door, and knocked.

"Certainly, that would be excellent. I trust you're feeling well, .. er.."

"..Rosco," the host completed. "I am both your guide and servant tonight, and I am here to make your stay very comfortable and enjoyable. If your stay at The Voltaire is not a completely astounding experience, then I have not done my job."

"I'm glad to hear that, Rosco," Louis replied. "This place has received extremely high reviews from a few of my friends and colleagues."

"No doubt of that, sir. I assure you that you will find no better quality or opportunity anywhere else in the country; perhaps the world."

"Opportunity?" Louis remarked.

"Indeed, Mr. van Haugh. But we will get to business soon enough. First, enjoy our rare liquors at the tavern, or perhaps something a bit stronger in the back room..? A jacuzzi is available down the hall, and delicacies are always being served in the cocktail room located in the East Wing. Is there anything that you desire right at this moment, sir?"

"No, nothing at the moment, thank you very much."

"Then I will take my leave of you for now. You are free to roam on the bottom floor of our little cottage, but not upstairs. I will locate you again in a couple of hours. Have a pleasant evening, Mr. van Haugh," said Rosco. He then walked toward a door labeled "Coat Check-in" and was gone.

-----

Louis wandered the house from room to room in the next half hour, grabbing some rich cheeses or some gourmet desserts as he could find them. He also found the bar and partook in several glasses of wine while talking to the other guests. At a pause in their conversation, the bartender interrupted.

"This is your first time here, I take it, sir?"

"Yes, it is. You wouldn't believe the pomp and circumstance my friends allowed when describing this place. I've never heard them so emphatic. However, they were a bit scant on the details."

The bartender couldn't help a sly smile and added, "Well, let's just say that you'll leave tomorrow morning with an empty wallet, but you'll have bought yourself a kingdom in many different ways."

Confused, Louis was about to inquire just what the bartender meant by that statement, but instead he figured that he would know shortly. He smiled, winked at the bartender, and pointed down at his glass to indicate a desire for a refill. The bartender quickly obliged his request.

-----

After a few games of pool and a couple more truffles, Rosco caught up with Louis in the lounge.

"Then, please follow me. I will brief you on everything you need to know."

Rosco and Louis began walking slowly down various hallways of the highly decorated mansion. There must have been dozens of hallways, each adorned in countless pieces of fine art, both old and new, arranged to perfection. One wall of a particular hallway was transparent revealing a huge indoor swimming pool on the other side, brimming with young, vivacious girls of assorted colors and appearances. A few older men were also in the pool, playing and splashing about with the carefree females.

At that point, Rosco began, "As you have probably heard, Mr. van Haugh, The Voltaire offers a wide variety of services to men of an elite and discrete social class. Although the types of services we provide are familiar to most men, we offer an ensemble of packages which we believe are unique to the entire country, perhaps the world."

Louis listened attentively, intrigued by the formality.

Rosco explained, "We believe that our services, in addition to being sensitive to governmental and religious scrutiny, are quite different than anything you might have ever seen. We prize our accomplishments at this establishment greatly. For these and many other reasons, I must request at this point that, no matter how your decisions evolve on this evening, you do not reveal any details of what you have seen, heard, or otherwise experienced during your stay here. Do you now agree to this?"

"Certainly, you have my strict confidence," Louis returned.

"Very good, then, sir. Before we go any further, I am obliged to inform you of our prices for various services. We do not intend for this to be a deterrent, but it is our policy to ensure that our clients are serious about purchases before any disclosures. The Voltaire, of course, offers standard services which are featured at most any.. er.. brothel. (We detest the term 'brothel'; The Voltaire's services greatly surpass any so-classed 'brothel' anywhere.) I could offer you the details of these standard services, but I suspect that you are interested in something more.. unique.. on this evening, Mr. van Haugh?"

"Yes, I am. Tell me the most interesting services, please, Rosco."

"I won't bother you with the common affairs then, sir. The Voltaire offers several one-of-a-kind services, but I will detail to you our most popular one now. The fee for this most popular service is 1.3 million dollars."

Louis tried not to wince, and he didn't. He continued to look Rosco in the eyes while they walked, and he even managed a nod of the head. How in the hell were they going to justify a price that high for *any* service?

Rosco continued, "I take it from your nod that you are willing to entertain a cost of that magnitude. Wonderful, sir. Let me explain the service. We have a group of extremely attractive young ladies, ages 15 to 25, which we have set aside for this purpose. You will take one of these beautiful females tonight, and your intercourse with her will result in a pregnancy."

"A pregnancy?!" Louis couldn't help but retort. "But what about.."

"..All will be explained to you in time, Mr. van Haugh. Please be patient. Let me explain what we have done to make this a perfect experience for all parties. Here is the key to our proposition: you will not be responsible for the child in any sense of the word. You will not have to care for the child, spend time with it, or in any way support the child a single moment after your intercourse with the young lady is completed. You will not be bound to the woman legally, socially, or, most importantly, financially whatsoever."

Louis took this in slowly. "Go on," he requested.

"No one knows that you are here tonight, Mr. van Haugh. Our security team has ensured that fact. To be sure, no one besides us, our clients, and a handful of others even knows where 'here' is. You needn't worry about privacy. Your lady will not be permitted to see you; you will be wearing a mask when you take her. Further, our lawyers have drawn up paperwork detailing the terms of the agreement which the young lady must sign in order to participate. So you see, each young woman is in complete agreement with the terms of this evening. There is a lot of money in it for her and her new child. In fact, most of your payment is allocated to the new child to ensure that it is covered for every expense imaginable through college years."

Rosco continued, "There are also several other layers which are in place to protect your 'investment'. Our lawyers are very clever. They have devised several ways to render the girl's testimony inadmissable in court should she try to expose either you or The Voltaire. We have never had a problem with the women, however, since their portion of the money is distributed on a monthly basis for many years. This aids their silence greatly. The second largest portion of your payment goes to the lawyers working behind the scenes, for reasons which I trust you now understand. Finally, if all else should fail, we have other means by which we may deal with an uncooperative young lady. But I'm sure it would never come to such measures, and again we have never had any prior problems."

"Let me explain more of the timeline of our service. After tonight, we will confirm that you have indeed made your maiden pregnant, and then we will monitor her for the duration of her pregnancy. If at any given time in the pregnancy she has an abortion, or if the pregnancy is not going well for any other reason, we will pull all funding from her and demand that she return to try again. She must carry the baby to term. If she refuses to return, we will deal with her on a case by case basis, probably taking a financial loss to ensure her silence. Once the baby is born, she will be subsidized each month with more than enough money for her and her child for quite a long time."

"In addition, we are monitoring the reproductive cycles of each young lady. The small group of young ladies from which you may choose tonight are all ovulating. If, by chance, conception is not attained, then you may return, selecting the same or another girl, to try again at no additional cost. So, in many ways, the purchase has multiple, built-in insurance policies."

Rosco paused here to check Louis's expression. Louis was listening more intently than he needed to, and he was clearly interested. Rosco was pleased, and continued his briefing.

"I'm sure you're tired of hearing the technicalities of this transaction. Perhaps you want to know the answer to another question: Why would you want to do this? Put simply, most men would find it thrilling to impregnate one of the world's most beautiful girls without the worry of having to care for the baby. For other men, the thrill is the feeling of power over the young girl during and after insemination. Still for others, it is a desire to procreate without committing time, money, or effort to raising the baby."

Louis nodded and smiled.

"Finally, for some men, the draw is having the ability to make a perfect, flat tummy of a gorgeous woman stretch out slowly, but irreversibly, so that her figure is never quite the same again. We all know that stretch marks, additional weight, a loose vagina, and other wear and tear on a woman's body almost always follow the birth of a baby. Some men find it erotic that they can 'ruin' a tight, thin body in this way. At your request, each week during the pregnancy we provide nude photos of the lady from all angles at no additional charge."

"Let me re-emphasize, Mr. van Haugh, that these ladies are of the finest quality imaginable. Each has close to zero body fat, and is quite thin but still very curvy. Each has long, inviting legs and a very flat stomach. The girls' breasts are all very firm and erect, and their faces are the most beautiful of any on Earth, as with all of our ladies. There are various ethnicities, as well, from which to choose."

By now, Louis was convinced. In addition, Rosco was ready to conclude.

"So you see, Mr. van Haugh, all arrangements have been made for your enjoyment this evening and beyond. Would you like to purchase this package from us at this time?"

"Certainly, I would."

"Excellent. Then I will begin final preparations. Please follow me."

-----

Rosco escorted Louis upstairs and into a small room, bid him farewell for the moment, and left. The location reminded Louis of a medical examination room: it had a body-length table, sink, swabs, and all sorts of other medical instruments and devices. Not soon after Rosco had left, a male nurse entered the room.

"I'm going to need several samples from you now," he said. "You're being tested for all sorts of STD's, including AIDS."

Louis interrupted, "Rosco didn't mention.."

"It's a requirement for this package," the nurse retorted. "You will have the results for each test within the hour."

It was unexpected and a little bit humiliating, but it didn't bother Louis too much.

"I trust that my lady has been tested for all these diseases as well?" Louis inquired.

"Oh yes, all the ladies have been tested much earlier today and passed. That is the case with every girl who works at The Voltaire, of course you know, sir!"

After Louis's test results returned and he was determined clean, Rosco came to pick him up.

"Here, put this on, please, sir," Rosco said while handing him a black Mardi Gras mask which covered his entire face. "We will now visit the ladies, and you will make your choice. Tonight, there are seven ladies to choose from. Follow me."

Rosco led Louis into another, larger room. It was very minimalist; three doors on various walls and a large chandelier were the only features of the bright, white room. Louis stood still wearing his suit with the addition of the mask, and Rosco stood to his left. Momentarily, one of the doors opened, and the ladies walked in. Rosco had not been exaggerating; truly these were some of the most beautiful women Louis had ever seen. Each was completely nude except for a pair of tall stilettos and perhaps an arm or leg bracelet here and there. There were two white-skinned girls, one lady of Puerto Rican descent, one African-American girl, two Asian girls, and one very tanned lady of Swedish descent. The hair of each was dressed up to perfection, and except for one of the Asian girls, they all had long hair.

"They're breathtaking," Louis uttered.

"Naturally," Rosco replied. "Would you like to take a closer look at each of them?"

"Of course I would," Louis responded although he had already made his decision. He thought he should try to prolong this as long as possible. He moved to each lady and inspected them up and down, studying every perfect curve. When he came to one of the white-skinned girls, he did not move on. This girl had probably the whitest skin Louis had ever laid eyes on. Her frame was tall and slender. There was not a spot on this girl which would have been deemed even slightly less than beautiful. Her face was soft and young.

"You will be my mistress tonight," he said to her in a low tone.

The girl couldn't hold back a slight smile, but still tried to remain serious and confident though no one had explicitly told her to act in any particular way.

"Excellent choice, sir," Rosco replied. "Thank you, ladies."

All the ladies but Louis's choice turned around and marched out the same door they had entered. The fair-skinned girl catwalked toward the third door and then disappeared through it.

-----

Rosco led Louis out of the bright room and back into the hallway.

"Right this way, sir," he beckoned. The pair moved a over a few hallways and entered a small bar. Rosco obligingly motioned for Louis to have a seat at one of two small round tables, and Louis sat down.

"Your lady is being prepared, sir. It will be only about fifteen minutes more. At this point, I will give you all the final instructions and information that you need. You have all night long with your lady. You may make love to her as many times as you wish, and you may fall asleep whenever you like. The lady is required to stay with you until you leave. You must, however, leave before 11:00 A.M. tomorrow morning."

"The girl you have chosen will arrive in the room after you will, and she will be wearing nothing but her high heels. At some point after you two are alone, your lady will determine that you desire to make love to her. She has been instructed to then place a down pillow on the middle of the bed, sit on the pillow, and then lie back onto the bed. She will then with raise her knees high up in the air and spread her legs out as far as possible. This position is the ideal one for your purposes tonight, sir. This action is, of course, a formality, and if you prefer something different, then the girl needn't bother with this ritual. On the other hand, if it appears that the girl is reluctant, you can have two of our men enter the room and discretely hold her knees apart for as long as you desire."

"I don't think that will be necessary," Rosco interjected.

"No, it probably won't, sir. It has never been necessary before. All the towels or toiletries you might need throughout the night will be provided in your room. However, if you need anything more, simply knock on the door and someone will be there to assist you. I believe that is all, Mr. van Haugh. Do you have any questions for me?"

"None that I can think of."

"Then I will take you to your lady now."

-----

Louis entered the room dressed as he had been in the bright room, donned with his mask and suit. Rosco left him shortly after Louis had deemed the room acceptable. It was rather large for this purpose; the room could probably hold five versions of the extravagant, king-sized bed that was placed in the center of the room. There was a feminine sink on one side of the room and an armoire on the other. Besides the door Louis had entered, he immediately saw one other to the right of the sink. Louis presumed that this was the door from which the lady would emerge. Mirrors surrounded the bed on almost all sides, and there were plenty above it on the ceiling. The temperature of the room was very warm.

After a little investigating, Louis had found all the toiletries, towels, and other necessities in one of the drawers below the sink. He also found switches and controls for extra mood lighting behind a curtain on one wall. Louis fumbled around with them until he had low, soft lighting everywhere in the room except on the bed, which was practically spotlighted. There was also a door to a bathroom hidden behind a dressing partition.

No sooner had Louis sat down on the bed, when he heard the door near the sink slowly open. He quickly stood up and brushed himself off. His lady walked in, alone, just as he remembered her. She was incredibly stunning. Her legs seemed extraordinarily long, and she was indeed thin. The girl spotted him and walked over to him on her black heels. Saying nothing, she looked directly at him. It was immediately obvious that the pretense of their meeting in addition to the mystique surrounding Rosco's mask were making the situation awkward for her. However, she soon wrapped her arms around his waist and began to squeeze the side of his body.

"Wait, uh.." Louis said. "Nobody told me that we are not allowed to talk, so how about we sit down for a bit and chat?"

The girls beautiful face lit up in a smile and she exclaimed, "Sure!"

They sat down, and looked at each other. Louis spoke first.

"May I ask your name?" he inquired.

"Yes, sir. I guess so. It's Vivian."

"Hi, Vivian. That's a wonderfully beautiful name."

"I won't ask you yours, sir." she responded with a smirk.

"Of course I cannot tell you that. But a name is just a name, I guess."

Vivian laughed and replied, "I suppose. I bet your name is Edward, Jr. or Gregory or something like that."

Louis smiled. "If you like, you can call me Edward. That would be fine."

"I think I'll just stick with 'sir'," Vivian offered.

"That would be excellent, too," Rosco admitted as he found the thought of her calling him "sir" all night erotic.

"I bet you're really rich," Vivian stated, implying a question.

"Mmm.. yes, I would say so, but probably not rich and famous enough for you to be able to identify me," Rosco proclaimed.

Vivian smiled widely and looked down. Rosco took a glance down at her body. Even at this angle, Vivian was gorgeous. Her body did not show a single bit of unsightly fat anywhere. Her legs were amazing; she was just an inch shorter than Louis. Her snatch was shaven, and she looked very, very clean. Her skin was tight all over her body, and her firm, perky breasts looked like they were aching to be touched and molded. Vivian's arms, like her legs, were quite long and slender.

"May I ask how old you are?" Louis inquired.

"I'm 19, sir." Vivian responded.

At 19 years of age, Rosco thought, Vivian was more beautiful than many of the women he had seen in his entire life. He couldn't imagine a more perfect shape, a more lovely face, a more fit body than Vivian's. The Voltaire did not disappoint.

"Can I ask you a personal question, Vivian?"

"Sure thing, sir." she replied.

"Why did you decide to do this?"

Vivian paused, looking down for a moment, then responded, "Well, sir, there are several reasons. I guess the best one is the all the money. All that money will ensure that my baby and I won't ever have to worry about money at all, and that's hard thing to turn down. Besides, I've always wanted to be a mom. I've always been afraid about getting pregnant, though, because the guys I always slept with wouldn't be willing or able to take care of the baby."

"I can imagine," Rosco said, sheepishly.

Vivian nodded and continued, "I've had many close calls, too. Missed periods and worries. I don't want to have to go through that anymore. Plus, I know me. Sooner or later I'm going to get pregnant anyway, so it might as well be in a very good situation."

"That makes a lot of sense," Rosco added. "But Vivian, you've got a perfect body that any woman on the planet would kill for. You know that having a kid will ruin it."

Vivian looked away and sighed. "I know. I work out all the time and I try to keep my body in just the right shape. But I'm eventually going to lose it anyway, because I'll become an old hag." She giggled. "So I might as well make use of it while I can."

Rosco smiled.

Vivian reached over to Rosco and lightly cupped his member. "How about I use it one last time tonight? I'll give it to you. You can do whatever you want with it."

If Rosco didn't have a hard-on yet, those words guaranteed that his penis was now on active duty. "Sounds great to me," he mumbled.

Vivian unzipped his pants and unbuckled his belt. She pulled his cock out of his boxers with just a bit of trouble and then began caressing it was the back of her hand.

"How about it, sir? Do you want to give this 'perfect body' one last night of 'perfect' pleasure?"

Vivian was turning out to be quite a sex kitten.

"You better believe it," Rosco replied.

Rosco stood up and pulled his pants and boxers down. He untied his shoes and removed them, followed by his socks, pants, and boxers. Vivian squatted down on her high stilettos and put her hand around his cock. She turned her head to the side and pressed her sexy lips up against its side. She then began moving her face up and down his member, and Rosco flung his head back in bliss. She moved to the other side, and then inserted his cock slowly into her mouth, swallowing it whole.

She began pumping it in and out of her mouth with fascinating rhythm. She was amazing at this. Rosco was in heaven. After a few minutes, Rosco stood her up and pushed her on the bed. Like clockwork, Vivian turned to the side, grabbed one of the down pillows, and slid it under her firm ass. She then lifted her legs high in the air with her knees spread far apart, exposing her beautiful vagina for Louis. Louis thought it would be nice to return her favor of oral sex, but he knew that, due to the mask, he couldn't. Instead, he started to massage the area below her clit.

Vivian put her hand on his and said, "No, that's okay, sir. I'm wet already." Indeed she was, Louis noticed. Quite wet. Either Vivian was extremely sensitive to the slightest sexual stimulation, or she was getting very hot just thinking about being impregnated. "I want you inside me, please sir. I want you to thrust into me."

Louis obliged. He settled in between her wide open legs and placed himself at her opening. He pushed in moderately fast, and with only a few in-out motions, he could penetrate all the way into her.

Louis began to pound her at a regular pace. He looked down at the gorgeous 19 year old. She was thrashing about and contorting in various ways, all of them very sexy to Louis. The girl reached up touched Louis's chest, and he in turn grabbed her breasts and fondled them. She really enjoyed that, and pulled his backside in toward her pelvis more.

"Yes, yes.. Fuck me. Fuck me! Oh god, you're going to get me pregnant! Oh yes, yes.." Vivian was already pounding at Louis's pelvis furiously. Could it be that she found this situation even more erotic than he did? No, surely that wasn't possible.

Louis was having the time of his life. This perfect girl was about to get it. She was going to get pregnant, and there was nothing she could do to stop it now. He began pounding at her at a rapid pace, and was rewarded with louder screams and pants from Vivian. Louis looked down at her flat torso and imagined his seed ballooning out that tight tummy until the stretch marks ruined her look forever. His sperm was going to ruin this girl. "You want my cum, huh, baby? You want it inside you?"

"YES! YES!! OH GOD PLEASE!! PLEASE SHOOT A BABY UP INTO ME!!" Vivian screamed as she felt her orgasm about to overtake her. She then came, and Louis could feel her vaginal walls contract all around him as she continued to squeal in ecstasy. Louis could feel his own orgasm mounting.

Just for fun, he said, "But Vivian, your hot little body will be ruined if I squirt up into you. Are you sure you want my cum?"

Louis's penetrations became increasingly violent, and he could feel the tip of his penis hitting up against her womb with every push inward. He couldn't hold it any longer. He wanted to impregnate this girl.

"AHHH AHAH YES, VIVIAN!! AHHHH!" he yelled with satisfaction. He came in her squirt after squirt, coating her insides. When he was finished, he collapsed on top of her, and hugged her tightly.

-----

The couple had sex 3 times that night, and they didn't get much sleep. Louis awoke at 9:00 A.M. and dressed himself, the mask still on his head. When he was about to leave, he walked back over to Vivian, who was still asleep. He lifted up his mask and gave her a wet kiss on her leg, then one on her temple.

"Good luck, Vivian," he whispered.

Louis caught a late morning brunch, and then left around 10:30 A.M. His chauffeur inquired as to how his night went, and Louis replied, "I'll never forget it, my friend."

-----

It turned out that Louis didn't have to make any return visits to The Voltaire to ensure Vivian's conception; Vivian turned out to be pregnant from their activities on that one night. Louis had opted to receive the photographs of Vivian each month as the baby stretched out her tummy. He couldn't wait for the first set to arrive.

Louis's friends had been right about The Voltaire. It turns out that Mike had purchased the "most popular package" 3 times already. So there were 3 ladies out there somewhere who were either pregnant with, or raising, his child, and there was no way they could find him or even begin to suspect who he was. What a service!

Louis would definitely return to The Voltaire at a later date. He was seriously thinking about purchasing the same service all over again. Who knew what other services the Voltaire offered, or what other surprises might be waiting for him there?

Did anyone notice how Louis kept turning into Rosco and back again? Shades of 'eyes wide shut' here maybe? the style was quite solid up until the sex and then it just went flat...actually it was pretty flat all the way through....way too pretentious!
